Uganda , Pearl of Africa with Rotim Gorilla Tours and Travel

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5

We had an unforgettable 21-day tour of Uganda. We visited nine national parks, including gorilla and chimpanzee trekking. It was our first safari, and Rotim Gorilla Tour and Travel put together the perfect trip for us.

The wildlife in Uganda is incredible, with beautiful scenery.

We especially loved Kidepo National Park with its large herds of elephants, buffalo, and antelope.

Our guide, Robert, even made it possible to see a leopard.

Throughout the tour, Robert took wonderful care of us and fulfilled all our wishes.

We saw the Big Five, and even the Big Seven, including the primates.

Uganda, the Pearl of Africa!

Many thanks to Rotim Gorilla Tour and Travel and especially to Robert for this incredibly beautiful trip.

If youre prepared to invest the time Uganda really does have lots to offer, including the unique opportunity to meet both gorillas and chimpanzees in their natural habitats. The wildlife is abundant throughout this fabulous country, the people are welcoming and it is also very safe to visit.

Had a great time with Buyaga Safaris in Uganda. Booked a private trip. Osmond was my guide and he was excellent. He was very good at finding wildlife and making sure I was enjoying my safari. The primate treks were all awesome. I was fortunate my gorilla trek was not too far and we saw a bunch of them including youngsters for an hour. The chimpanzee trek was also great. It started with them in the trees but once they came down they were all over the place. This was my 2nd trip to Uganda but first golden monkey trek. I recommend it if you like primates. So many of them and very very active. I did the major parks- Murchison, Queen Elizabeth as well and saw elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, etc.. The country is so beautiful and the people so friendly.

My wife and I had a great 2 week private driving safari in Uganda. Mountain gorillas and chimpanzees were the highlights. Accommodation was generally excellent apart from Paraa Lodge at Murchison Falls. We enjoyed the contrast of ecosystems and there are a lot of different experiences including rhino trekking and leopard in line trekking. There were some areas where the game viewing was a little disappointing but overall in the 2 weeks we saw a lot. Probably not quite as good overall as Botswana for Tanzania, but the primates really make up for it.
Highly recommend a trip to Uganda

Had an incredible experience in Uganda. We were very fortunate to see the majority of the wildlife the country had to offer including many of the rarer species. Wish we had spent more time in the mountainous backcountry, but it leaves something for us to come back to.

We loved the ziwa rhino preserve. It was amazing to be so close to those beautiful animals. We did multiple boat tours on the Nile.And saw different animals each time. I love safaris.We saw many, many elephants giraffes, seven leopards, only a few lions. Our highlight of uganda was the gorilla trekking and the chimpanzee trekking. The small villages Were eye-opening
Of the hardworking people of this country. Our guides made our trip.
Very pleasant and memorable. They did everything they could to please us.
Were very friendly and willing to do extra.So we could have the best at experience. For us, a once in a lifetime adventure.

The most surprising, beautiful, vibrant, friendliest country I've ever allowed to visit

Starting in Entebbe we had a pleasant arrival transport organized from the company. It gave us already a hint of upcoming days - the city vibes were interesting to observe. The first location was a lovely hotel very close to the Lake Victoria with lots of beach bar/restaurants. A nice place to be and felt safe walking around the area as two women. Moving from there to Queen Victoria National Park we had the chance to observe so many different wild life and our guide Sam was amazing! We learned so much about all different types of plants, birds and animals. The pace of the safari was exactly what we wished for - enough time to observe, ask questions, discuss and take pictures. The chimpanzee and gorilla trekking was the reason we came to Uganda and it was worth it! Very well organized. The animals were close enough to observe but stayed in distance to feel safe. All credits to the trackers and people allowing for this experience as they check out where the animals are before we start to
Read more hike. We were lucky to not walk a long distance and it took us less than 1 hour to reach the spots where the animals were. But we were told this might be several hours for e.g. the Gorilla trekking - so be aware of this! The 1 hour planed for staying in the bush with the Chimpanzee / Gorilla is satisfying enough. Please include the visiting of the Twin Lakes as this lookout point is very very beautiful.
We had perfect weather conditions with rain during the nights and warm t-Shirt temperature during the day. Mosquito repellent was a must because of the humidity and the amount of mosquitos! All of the accommodations were amazing! They had everything we asked for - even laundry services. Keep in mind it is simple sometimes but the views, the service, the staff and the food were the best ever!
I very much recommend this trip with Nature Connect Safaris Uganda and wish everyone could do this experience once in their life.
